Don’t miss this opportunity, join a panel of your peers as they discuss the impacts of ultrasonic metering and the advantages of AMI. The expansion to two-way communications enables features that are not available with AMR. What are the key drivers needed to develop your utility’s business case?  Could operational benefits such as remote disconnects, on-demand reads, soft shutoffs offer valuable operational flexibility?  Do safety features including safety alarms, real time pressure or temperature readings move the needle?  Join us and learn from the experiences of our panel as they share their strategies for building a robust business case for their next phase, migrating to AMI.

Migrating from a manual meter reading, a touch-read AMR system, or a mobile AMR system to a fixed-network or cellular AMI system is both a difficult and an expensive decision for a utility to make.  In this session we’ll discuss the best time to migrate, the business case that will justify the migration to AMI, as well as explain how both the utility and its accountholders will benefit from the advantages an AMI system can provide. Plus, we’ll include tips for overcoming some common challenges that a utility may face when it migrates from AMR to AMI.

When it comes to managing growing electrification and residential DERs, challenges that define today’s utility operations, the need for customer satisfaction and efficient grid planning becomes paramount. To meet expectations, AMI 2.0 vendors like Itron Riva make more resolutions of data available than ever before, enabling different use cases. Given that AMI 2.0 deployments require massive investments, this showcases the need for specialized analytics vendors who can turn a growing variety of data streams into demonstrable value for regulators and consumers. Experience the journey of Hydro One implementing a data-driven approach to validating the heightened value of these data streams for grid planning and customer engagement, leveraging AMI 2.0 and NET2GRID EnergyAI™ technology. 

Riva and its grid-edge applications form the backbone of Hydro One’s grid modernization strategy. They leverage NET2GRID EnergyAI™ for household consumption insights and DER awareness capabilities on both AMI 1.0 and 2.0 data, maximizing their data utilization throughout this transition. In the AMI 2.0 context, there is AMI 1.0-style day-late interval data, as well as edge-compute power for real-time DER awareness, and streaming that enables a real-time view into customers’ whole-home and EV energy consumption. 

Upon activating customers with day-late services, some will upgrade to the real-time journey, enriching their experience while also helping the utility manage the grid more effectively. As customers onboard their home Wi-Fi, they activate their real-time data journey, unlocking customer engagement as a pivotal tool in grid management. Hydro One can leverage the real-time streaming of data to build customer-facing services and non-wires alternatives that manage grid capacity while driving energy efficiency goals. 

This comprehensive guide is designed for utilities at any stage in their AMI journey, illuminating the diverse benefits offered by AMI 2.0 technology and third-party DI and AMI analytics applications.

ComEd will highlight innovative engineering solutions incorporating Itron technology and utility know-how. The SMART (Solar Mobile AMI Reliability Trailer) is a nomadic communications center powered by renewable energy that is easily deployable throughout the service territory and is capable of both facilitating and monitoring the AMI network. This greatly increases ComEd's ability to access and understand the impact of both existing and/or new devices on to the AMI mesh network, ultimately resulting in a more reliable and resilient grid. Aside from the SMART trailer, ComEd is also re-engineering streetlight nodes so that they can service multiple purposes for radio frequency (RF) remediation, specifically as they relate to strengthening the mesh, and offer an economical solution for areas with RF shadows. This presentation will be co-presented by two engineers from ComEd and will emphasize the role of the utility to continuously innovate in order to maintain a resilient, reliable, and industry leading AMI mesh network, which serves as the foundation for smart electric meters, smart gas and water meters, and more, all of which are necessary for the modern smart city.

This session highlights how meter diversity enhances the value of utility AMI (Advanced Metering Infrastructure) by offering utilities more choices in meter form factors and features from various global vendors. This flexibility maximizes AMI investments, lowers costs and risks tied to single-vendor reliance, and boosts operational adaptability.
